Apparently someone I don't know is using the PF Tek (Verm / BRF). Now it's been 5 days since he's colonized his jars, and this morning he noticed the beginning of some mycelium growth....

Now, it appears some little white "blobs" have surfaced on the jar itself almost from the get go. He says it look like wet clumps of BRF... Now his jars were extremely well mixed to begin with. Is this anything he should worry about or is it just the humidity causing this?

Also, he has his jars holes covered with masking tape.... Now he's been told that removing the tape would be best for air flow, since the dry verm seal will keep contams out.... But if he's a smoker, would it best to keep the tape on, or smoke in a different room (he uses his computer room, soooo yeah), or would it matter at all because of the verm seal.....

He's got his room at a nice toasty 86 degrees... He's also got a black cloth covering the jars to prevent light from coming in...

From this morning to now there's already been more progress in the mycelium growth. The only odd part is the one jar that hasn't shown any growth yet is the one he put too much innoculate in (2 cc's by accident)

hahaha thats what i used to do, live in an extremely hot environment to aid colonization. But dude, you'll be spending much more money on heat than on the cost of the incubator, especially if you have electric heating, so I'd suggest you build an incubator unless you don't pay for heat.
